Jess Wilber Bio

Waltzing Matilda hails from deep in the heart of the Rust Belt, a melancholy yet ruckus-raising clowngirl if ever there was one!See! her do pseudo-stripteases to the sounds of Dixieland jazz!Hear! her squeeze and strum her twisted take on Americana!Listen! to her cut up jackpots, yarns spun about her traveling adventures!Watch! as she makes you laugh and cry with her silly hobo-clown antics!

Cindy Emch aka Emchy Bio

Emchy comes from the lonesome, fog-drenched port of San Francisco, an accordion-playing beauty beyond compare!Hear her play songs of hard-drinkin' and hell-raisin' on her accordion!Listen to her share with you poetry that'll set fire to your soul!Watch her closely, for she has surprises in store!

She is also the nefarious accordion component in the bands Vagabondage and Rhubarb Whiskey. Her adventures with Vagabondage are legendary including performances at the Hubba Hubba Revue (2008 Best of the Bay Variety Show), and other sordid venues in California. You can hear her songs on the myspace pages of Vagabondage & Rhubarb Whiskey.

Hey FolksLooks like these may be the general urban areas we're hitting for the fall poet / accordion / tattooed lady tourIf you know of any good places to perform in these areas or good contacts please lemme know. Danke.
